JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO WITHDRAW MOTION FOR PARTIAL
SUMMARY JUDGMENT OF INTERVENING RIGHTS [DKT. NO. 567]

Defendants Adobe Systems, Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., CDW LLC, Citigroup Inc., Google,
Inc., The Go Daddy Group, Inc., J.C. Penney Corp., Inc., Staples, Inc., Yahoo! Inc., and
YouTube LLC (collectively, “Defendants”) hereby move to withdraw Defendants’ Motion for
Partial Summary Judgment of Intervening Rights [Dkt. No. 567] (“Intervening Rights Motion”)
and would state as follows:
The focus of Defendants’ Intervening Rights Motion was to address Plaintiff’s claim for
back damages. As of today, that claim has been withdrawn by the parties’ Joint Stipulation of
No Pre-Suit Damages [Dkt. No. 867], eliminating the purpose of the Intervening Rights Motion.
Accordingly, Defendants respectfully move the Court to withdraw the Intervening Rights Motion
[Dkt. 567].

Respectfully submitted,
